created by multi-award winning writer andrew davies, mr selfridge tells the story of 'mile a minute
harry', a man with a mission to make shopping as thrilling as sex. pioneering and reckless, with an
almost manic energy, he created a theatre of retail where any topic or trend that was new, exciting,
entertaining - or sometimes just eccentric - was showcased.
jeremy piven takes on the role as mr selfridge following a successful eight-season run on hit drama
entourage, in which he won three emmys and a golden globe for his portrayal as ari gold. joining
piven is katherine kelly (coronation street) as the confident and alluring socialite lady mae, whose
connections prove vital for harry as he builds his empire.
the drama is set in london in 1909, at a time when women were revelling in a new sense of freedom
and modernity. harry wanted to indulge, empower and celebrate these women and so opened the
doors of his lavish department store, on london
